This research investigated how combinations of expectant couples' attachment styles jointly predict <i>emotional flooding</i>, which is a form of interpersonal emotion dysregulation. Using a sample of 98 mixed-gender couples residing in Canada, we used multilevel modeling to examine actor effects (e.g., one's attachment insecurity predicting their own flooding), partner effects (one's attachment insecurity predicting flooding in their partner), and interactions between partners to examine its association with emotional flooding at the third trimester of pregnancy and across early parenthood. Longitudinally, couples were followed from the third trimester to 4 years postpartum to explore how attachment pairings predicted changes in flooding across parenthood. Attachment anxiety in men predicted their own propensity to become flooded during conflict, as well as their partner's flooding. An interaction was seen at the third trimester, such that men who were avoidantly attached reported greater flooding when their partner was high in anxiety compared to low in anxiety. Finally, men's flooding was associated with greater increases over time when high avoidance in men was paired with low avoidance in women, whereas flooding showed the smallest increase when both partners reported low avoidance. Findings suggest that the fit between each partner's attachment styles can improve understanding of the emotional mechanisms experienced during conflict, especially during the often-stressful period of early parenthood.</p>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"64 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/famp.70057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144740342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to discover common unobserved latent classes of intergenerational solidarity with older parents among middle-aged adults during the pandemic in the United States and South Korea. In addition, we sought to determine if the identified solidarity latent classes were linked to the self-esteem of middle-aged adults, and whether the above association varies according to parents' gender or cultural contexts. We used data from the 2022 surveys of the Longitudinal Study of Generations and Korean Generation Study, and conducted multigroup latent class analysis for 247 child–mother and 205 child-father groups in the United States and 229 child–mother and 155 child-father groups in South Korea. In addition, multivariate regression analysis based on the three-step approach was conducted. We identified the same three intergenerational solidarity latent classes in the four groups: <i>tight-knit</i>, <i>intimate-but-distant</i>, and <i>detached</i>. Furthermore, we found that middle-aged adults with a <i>tight-knit</i> relationship with older parents reported higher self-esteem than those who had <i>intimate-but-distant</i> and <i>detached</i> types of relationships with older parents, irrespective of parents' gender and national context. Our results suggest that fostering stronger intergenerational relationships would be beneficial for middle-aged adults in both cultures, regardless of the gender of their parents.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation continues to occur in the context of family members' emotion dysregulation and whether there are parent–child gender differences in this process. The study utilized three-wave data collected at 6-month intervals, with 317 parents of primary school children participating in the full assessment. Results indicated that intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation persists despite family members' emotion dysregulation. Bidirectional associations emerged between maternal emotion dysregulation and child emotion lability, highlighting mothers' central role in emotional transmission within family systems. In contrast, paternal emotion dysregulation showed limited observable expression in family interactions. Sons' emotion lability uniquely predicted paternal emotion dysregulation and mediated the maternal-paternal dysregulation link. Critically, parents' capacity to serve as effective emotional regulators for children depended on their active self-regulation.
